Hey! I'm Max. 👋

I study computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. My primary interests include safe systems programming and pedagogy, most notably as an instructor for 98-008: Intro to Rust Lang. As part of a research team within CMU's Software and Societal Systems Department (S3D), my work explores the intersection of cybersecurity and machine learning to build predictive threat models.

When not at the computer, you can find me hiking or tracking down the best boba in Pittsburgh!
